Excerpt

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with significant associated morbidity and mortality. Increased maximal left ventricular wall thickness (LVWT) has been postulated as major risk factor of sudden death; however, relatives with normal LVWT are also at risk. Genetically driven interstitial collagenesis has been proposed as a possible mechanism of diffuse myocardial fibrosis and increased extracellular volume fractions (ECV) has been demonstrated in genotype positive subjects. We investigated whether native T1 can also separate genotype positive subjects in the absence of increase in LVWT and how does it relate to ECV measurements. …
